Kicked in the Head (1997)
Director: Matthew Harrison
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A self-consciously 'cool' US indie comedy-drama from the director of the similarly derivative Rhythm Thief, in which Corrigan (who co-wrote it) - horribly indulged, self-indulgent and unsympathetic in his 'cute' confusion and adolescent desires - pursues his dopey spiritual quest for truth while dealing with a petty criminal uncle (Woods), manic entrepreneur buddy (Rappaport), devoted admirer (Taylor) and the object of his desire, an improbably yielding world-weary air hostess (Fiorentino). Too determinedly offbeat, and much too perniciously flip - gunfights are funny, men's immature sexual fantasies are to be indulged by mature women - for its own good.Author: GA
